Vikings acquired QB Trevor Siemian and a 2018 seventh-round draft pick from the Broncos in exchange for a fifth-round pick in 2019.

The Broncos were in a hurry to get rid of Siemian even though he was easily their second-best quarterback behind Case Keenum and costs only $705,000 this season. In Minnesota, Siemian will provide a formidable backup to Kirk Cousins.

Vikings coach Mike Zimmer said Dalvin Cook (ACL) will be "pretty close" to ready by OTAs.

It would be a surprise if the Vikings push their young running back during the offseason program, but this update seems to confirm he will be all systems go by the time training camp rolls around. Cook gained 444 yards from scrimmage with two touchdowns in four games as a rookie. As long as he is healthy, he will be an RB1 heading into the 2018 season.

Rudolph is two weeks removed from surgery on his right ankle. He's still in a walking boot but should be fully recovered by June. The 28-year-old tied Stefon Diggs for the team lead with eight receiving touchdowns last season.

The tender is worth $2.914 million. A former UDFA, Easton was having a fairly rough 2017 on Case Keenum's left side before breaking his ankle. He turns 26 in June. Provided he's healthy, Easton should open 2018 with a starting job. He can also play center.

Chris Tomasson of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports the injury is a fractured ankle. Tomasson reports the center could be ready for OTAs, but ankle injuries can be tricky. A third-round pick last year, Elflein struggled in 14 rookie starts.
